Two hours were spent very pleasantly
in lounging about the parlors, the earl
entering into conversation with those
presented, and at 10 O'clock all repaired
To THE DINING ROOM
Covers had been laid for 80 people
and there were about 175 who took seats.
The earl occupied the seat at
the head of the table. At his
right sat Bishop Ireland and
on his left sat C. ID. O'Brien. The sup
per was served i'll courses, and it was
one of the efforts of Manager EmeTSon'S
life. The orchestra, stationed in the
balcony over the entrance to the dining
room, fed the aesthetic tastes,
while those on the floor
below fed on more substantial
food. The menu and toast
list was very neatly designed and
printed on heavy linen. The service
was Of the best, the walters being under
the direction of Maj. NJ. Z. PettiS. No
wines were served. 1t was nearly 12
o'clock when the responses to the tOastS
began. Hon. G. ID. 0'Brien acted as
POSTMASTER. He announced the first
speaker of the evening, Bishop Ireland,
who delivered the address of welcome.
1t is my pleasure to tell our honored guest
of the high esteem in which he is held in the
Northwest A meeting such as this is an
unusual occurrence. 1t is solemn in its sig
nifcance, and we can but hail it as the
daWning of a new era. An officer of the
court of St. James is welcomed with
open arms. The responses of Ireland to
the magnanimous Gladstone was only
worthy of her esteem for him. England's
endless persecution has not crushed out Ire

He ruled Ireland for the Irish.
Lord Aberdeen came with the olive branch
TO rule in justice a justice-loying people.
Justice, affection and generosity suppressed
and brute force substituted have not con-

back of that which never dies, a nation.
Home rule will come. but we fear it will not
come with good grace from England. The
present is England's opportunity. Does Mr..
Gladstone speak of separation: No; they
are stars in the same constellation. Ireland
alone knows her needs. She alone
knows how to apply the proper
remedy. The English members can never
recognize any merit in an Irish question. The
objections made to the granting of Home
rule have no foundation in facts. Ireland
bears herself to-day with harmless temper,
under great temptation. Iour LordShip

is with great feelings of pride that present
the IriShmen present tonight to your honor.
They occupy high positions in every branch
of trade. They are men of property. They
will notice that no wines have
been put before you tonight. 1t shows the
sobriety of the Irish-Americans of Minnesota.
1t is the characteristic of all Irish American
banQuets that no liquors are served. IN civil
and social manners we live in

You see what IriShmen would be capable of
under favorable conditions in Ireland. Your
voice, as in the past. will be raised up in sup

Continuous applause followed Bishop
Ireland's speech, and the earl rose to
make response.

shall always remember the welcome ac-
corded to me tonight. Well might the
bishop remark that the occasion
was one of deep significance. 1t
shows how Irishman i'll all parts
of the country follow the movements of the
Irish cause believe that the character of
the gathering will have no small effect in
promoting the success of the cause. do
not speak of home rule as debatable
question. The only question is when
It is to-come to pass The misunderstanding
regarding the nature of the Irish movement
I find to be widespread, The idea that En-
glishmen have of Irish-Americans is a pc
culiar one. They are often regarded as
bloodthirsty and ferocious. The st. Paul
papers show very c0mmendable efforts
to publish very full British reports.
1 shall make use of the proceedings of this
meeting when / get home, though / am
afraid the London Times will publish a very
full report. This audience. including so
many representative men, is highly repre-
sentative of the hospitality. with which
have been received in all parts of the coun-
try have a message from Lady Aberdeen,
for the ladies of ST Paul, that is that Irish
linen and poplin can be purchased direct
from the native country. / thank You for
your patience i'll listening to my remarks.
